First he fought for his country. Now he'll fight for her.
Two years after losing her husband in Afghanistan, Carly
Lowry has rebuilt her life in Tallgrass, Oklahoma. She has a
job she loves teaching third grade and the best friends in
the world: fellow military wives who understand what it
means to love a man in uniform. She's comfortable and
content...until she meets a ruggedly handsome stranger who
rekindles desires Carly isn't quite sure she's ready to
feel. Staff Sergeant Dane Clark wanted to have a loving
family, a twenty-year Army stint, and then a low-key
civilian career. But the paratrooper's plans were derailed
by a mission gone wrong. Struggling to adjust to his new
life, he finds comfort in the wide open spaces of
Tallgrass--and in the unexpected attention of sweet, lovely
Carly. She is the one person who makes him believe life is
worth living. But when Carly discovers he's been hiding the
real reason he's come to Tallgrass, will Dane be able to
convince her he is the hero she needs?
